Lady Beneviento lives in House Beneviento together with her sidekicks Angie and Aoi! Donna has both a human form and an animal form. However, this wasn't always the case. Before Aoi came to the village and moved in with Donna, Lady Beneviento just had the cadou and only had her human form but shortly after Aoi's arrival and Mother Miranda knowing all about the F-Virus, Miranda wanted to experiment more and more after seeing what the F-Virus combined with the cadou did to her test subjects, which not only included Aoi but also Amai and Princess, and she wanted to see what the F-Virus would do to those who already had the cadou, which wasn't the case for Aoi, Amai and Princess since they got the cadou after the F-Virus. Miranda was quite proud of and fascinated by the "extras" that her cadou gave those three, turning them into even more of a unique mutant mess than they were before they got the cadou.

Sure, Miranda didn't really gain anything from this but the experimentation results were way too interesting for her not to continue with this so as an added twist, she got curious to what would happen if she were to inject the F-Virus in subjects who already had the cadou as opposed to those who already had the F-Virus but no cadou yet so she contacted that super secret Umbrella facility that Aoi originally came from to get some F-Virus examples that contained DNA of many different kinds of animals for herself so she could inject the village's lords and ladies with it. So shortly after Miranda got her hands on multiple different F-Virus samples, she held a meeting with Donna, Alcina, Karl and Salvatore to see what their thoughts would be about them receiving this unique animal transformation virus after also telling them about what happened with Aoi, Amai and Princess. Surprisingly, everyone seemed interested! Even the man of steel himself, Karl Heisenberg! Lady Dimitrescu also didn't seem put off by the idea either.

So after a while, the lords and ladies got the F-Virus as well and the main difference seems to be that those who already had the cadou and got the F-Virus after are able to transform into their animal forms and back to their human forms again whenever they want to and the F-Virus strengthens their cadou abilities and it plays into their already existing abilities and forms, while subjects who had the F-Virus and got the cadou later such as Aoi cannot transform into a human form but they can get extra abilities that play into their animal species and individual traits thanks to their cadou. This means that everyone who has the F-Virus and gets the cadou all get different results! Never the exact same results! Miranda was very pleased by all these different results and how powerful her cadou can be combined with this brand new F-Virus and vice versa! After all her successful F-Virus experiments, she slowly started forgetting about trying to get her daughter Eva back via a vessel and instead started focusing on seeing how many mutant animal creatures she could fill up the village with. It's almost like she's trying to start fresh and build up a new kind of family after Umbrella Corp's F-Virus gave her some much needed inspiration and motivation!

Thanks to the F-Virus, Donna's animal form is a house cat. The abscess over her right eye isn't present when she's a cat. Instead, the abscess is replaced with a crescent moon eye scar and Donna's right eye is completely missing, just like Aoi's left eye. It's simply an empty eye socket. Donna's left eye has a yellow circle around it, similar to a Dalmatian. The crescent moon and circle represent the Sun and Moon Beneviento family crest. Donna also has a sun and moon mark on the back of both her ears with a sun being on her right ear and a crescent moon on the back of her left ear. You may be wondering why her paws are so colorful. These colors are to represent her love for gardening! Think of lavender, red roses, and the green for gardening gloves, leaves, plants, etc.!

Nothing has happened to the dolls who were here before Donna got her cat form. She's kept them all but has most certainly created more dolls in the form of cats ever since she got her cat transformation. Donna's hobbies haven't changed much. She's still the best doll maker in town and nothing has changed regarding dolls and the making of them. Donna also remains an excellent chef and a very talented baker! Baking still remains one of her biggest passions and she's quite a good baker as a cat too! The only new hobby Donna has picked up is video games not long after Aoi settled in to House Beneviento. Another positive note is that Donna's routine has also changed for the better after Aoi's arrival and after receiving the F-Virus herself too! No longer is she always super shy and no longer does she isolate herself by staying at home majority of the time. She, Alcina and the other two lords spend a lot more time socializing, hanging out, and just interacting more with each other too after they all received the F-Virus from Miranda! Because they've all established a much better and closer family relationship with each other now, Donna hopes that she can one day safely introduce Aoi to them all without Miranda trying to capture Aoi again, or making the rest bring the blue dragon back to the priestess again.

Besides for Aoi and her dolls, Donna also makes clothing and fashion accessories for Amai, Princess and Aibo! Donna is well aware of Miranda filling up the village with her mutant animal creatures so she thought it would be fun to create clothing and accessories for them! You may see multiple creatures wear the same clothing or accessories since they're all Donna's designs and let's be honest...Everything she makes simply suits everyone so it's no big surprise!

Donna helped create Aibo together with Aoi, Angie and some of her other dolls shortly after Lady Beneviento got her cat form. Otherwise, she would've never been able to reach Moreau's Reservoir in her human form with those heels! Aibo is Lord Moreau's plush dragon and best friend! Aibo is the only one who didn't get the F-Virus but he does have the cadou which brought him to actual life!
